My new Fendt will be specified with a Valtra engine, and DB gearbox.
Whenever there's an argument between Volvo and Scania fanboys all you need to say is "Scania V8"aye but the same guy says the scania is miles better than the volvo apart from the tranny.
Well as long as you don’t spec a DB diff and have wabbit issues I think you be okMy new Fendt will be specified with a Valtra engine, and DB gearbox.

I am quite fond of the manual scania that I drive. However if its off the road there is an 8 speed 3 pedal auto, and I hate it. Never knows what gear to be in, tries them all going up a certain hill, then flashes clutch down on the dashaye but the same guy says the scania is miles better than the volvo apart from the tranny.
To bring this thread up to date .
The machine in question is a JCB 418s loading shovel that at 2000 hours started to come up with an error code for crankcase pressure , & with in a few hunderd hours it needed a complete new engine ,It has full JCB service record, , JCB had no shovels to put in to us to keep us going & the machine was parked up for 6 months until a new engine was delivered from Cummins , dealer has tried on our behalf to get some thing out of JCB , but nothing at all & JCB area service manager will not come out to talk to us this which is very poor just goes to should they have no interest in there customers , For a business like ours that has had JCB forklifts from 1985 & still run then , had fastrac's & loading shovels I find it hard to believe the service guy can not spare the time to come out & have a talk with us, As i said the dealer has done good job in trying to make this happen but Mr JCB will not take the time to talk with a customer
How do you mean , we have never had a new engine put in a machine apart the shovel ever.You seem to go through quite a few engines at your place
A like for the report back. Sounds a fair evaluation of your treatment from JCB and I hope it gets seen by someone prepared to sort it.To bring this thread up to date .

perhaps it was going cheap……Interesting to note originally it was someone else's machine. Now it's his own
ive two old fastracs with cummins , ive a spare engine lying in waiting .A guy I worked with had Cummins powered Fastrac’s, the 185-65’s back in the day. He had a problem with the engine in one of them, and the dealer was as good as useless, as it was out of it’s then 1 year warranty.
At what was the S E D show, he got talking to people on the Cummins stand, who told him their warranty to JCB was 2 years.
It was soon sorted.
